The xmas eve phone call of course

Just got a call from a tenant , no heat . Its a gas furnace .  The service guy was there and it has a cracked heat exchanger . This doesnt suprise me since the furnace is over 35 years old .It was due . So I am dropping off some electric heaters and get to spend some money next week .

The fun part is the furnace is in a crawl space .  And its tight so I am going over Monday with a backhoe and dig out an area so its easier to install   .

@Matthew Paul Merry Christmas!  Seems like the holidays bring out the problems with rentals.  The good part is you have a plan, and it will all work out.  

Quick question, do you inspect/service your furnaces every year?  Is that common practice where you are?
